“It’s not much but this is all we know as home. We fight and bicker all the time because of the situation we find ourselves in. But at the end of the day we love each other very much.”

Gerry said he has “no chance” of shaking his drug habit while he’s living rough. He said: “I went into prison when I was younger and got addicted to heroin while I was inside.

“You can’t walk five ­minutes down the road without being offered every drug under the sun.

“If I can get away from this world and into a house and a treatment centre then I can have a real life.”

Eileena has no addiction problems and is desperate to see Gerry pull through.

She said: “The Government are watching this happen and doing nothing about it. They don’t give a f*** about us.”

The loving couple were invited into a hostel on Tuesday where they are welcome for three nights — so are expecting to be back on the street today.

Gerry says all he and Eileena are asking for is the most basic of help in a bid to get back on their feet.

He said on Wednesday: “We’re just trying to get granted a place in one of the six-month shelters. This morning was the first time waking up warm, dry, and in a comfortable bed after having a decent sleep and it felt amazing.”
